Titanium Corporation offers the best available technology today to dramatically reduce the environmental impact of oil sands tailings, while economically recovering valuable products that would otherwise be lost in tailings ponds.
Titanium and its funding partners have invested over $60 million to develop a patented breakthrough technology called CVW ("Creating Value from Waste"). The process recovers bitumen, solvents and minerals from tailings streams of oil sands mining operations, thereby substantially reducing harmful emissions from tailings ponds (VOC's and GHG's).
The technology is ready for commercial deployment. This involves building a new facility, adjacent to the tailings pipelines, which would apply a secondary stage of treatment. This "end of pipe" technology would recover economically attractive quantities of residual bitumen (heavy oil), solvents (naphtha), and valuable minerals (zircon and titanium). This patent-protected technology, developed over eight years, has been proven at a demonstration plant supported financially by the Governments of Canada and Alberta, with participation of major oil companies and commercial proposals are now under discussion.
Titanium's "Value from Waste" technology, is ready for commercialization, requiring only the agreement from an oil sands operator ready to be an early mover by hosting the first of these facilities at its existing operations.

Product Service Offerings:

Titanium Corporation's patented technology recovers bitumen (heavy oil), solvents (Naphtha) and minerals (zircon and titanium) from oil sands tailings streams, remediating the tailings and significantly reducing harmful VOC and GHG emissions from tailings and ponds. Extensive demonstration piloting has been completed for Government and industry sponsors and the technology is now ready for commercial deployment at existing oil sands mining sites. Flexible business structures include licensing, joint venture and custom processing arrangements.

Business Development Objectives

The markets for Titanium Corporation's tailings technology are the large bitumen mining operations in Alberta's Athabasca oil sands region. The Company has made proposals to the industry operators and is in active discussions with the objective of reaching agreements in 2014 on the first of multiple projects. Partnering and investment opportunities are also available for firms interested in investing in large projects, providing long term processing services to the oil sands industry as well as firms interested in minerals production and marketing.
